Thirty-one other rooms let Keon Coleman slide, and the Dolphins were the ones holding the card at No. 97. Highway robbery.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Thomas has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 22 they get a load in the middle. The biggest hole, addressed.
Sedrick Van Pran at the 65th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Keon Coleman in the 97th overall pick, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Kalen King at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Dallin Holker at No. 160 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Trevor Keegan in slot 161 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
They paid a round early for Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 178, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Jefferson at Round 6, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nathan Thomas. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Good price on Jaylan Ford in pick 200, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A premium they did not need to pay, Keaton Bills a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
The board had Tyler Owens higher than slot 239, and the safety fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
